CHARLES A. BRIMMER, OF SPRING GREEN, WISCONSIN, ASSIGNOR T0 ENGELBERTB.' SCHWARTZ, OF SPRING GREEN, WISCONSIN;

MILK-simian AND RECORD Homann.

`Record'l-lolders; and l do hereby declare the following to be a full,clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enableothers skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use thesame.

This invention relates to milk sheet holders and has for an object toprovide a device of this character having1 a novel sliding leaf in thecover to conceal or expose the milk sheet as desired.

YVA further object is to provide means for preventing access of dustinto the holder.

With the above objects in view the invention consists of certain noveldetails of construction and combination of parts hereinafter fullydescribed and claimed, it being understood that various modificationsmay be made in the minor details of construction within the scope of theappended claim.

In the accompanying drawing illustrating this invention Fignre l is aplan view of the invention. Fig. 2 is a plan view with the cover rockedopen. Fig. 3 is a cross sectional view on line 3-3 Fig. l. Fig. 4 is across sectional view similar to Fig. 3 but showing the sliding` leafclosed. Fig. 5 is a front elevation. Fig. 6 is a fragmentary sectionalview on line 6 6 Fig. 5.

Referring now to the drawing in which like characters of referencedesignate si1nilar parts, l() designates a casing which is equipped witha hinged cover 1l. Mounted longitudinally in the casing are parallelsupply and receiving rollers l2 and 13 which are located on oppositesides of a table 14. These rollers carry a tally sheet l5 of which theends are attached respectively to the rollers by means of clamp strips16. The spindles of the rollers are extended beyond the ends of thecasing and are equipped with buttons 17 for actuating the rollers.

The cover l1 is provided on the inner face of the rear wall and endwalls with a groove 18 in which is iitted a longitudinal sight glass 19equal in width to one-half the width of the top7 there being a thinsheet Specification of Letters Patent.

metal plate 2O also marginally secured in the groove underneath andcoinciding with the sight glass. A designation sheet 2l of any desiredcharacter is clamped between the sight glass and plate. The plate bearswith its free edge upon the tally sheet and rmly holds the latteragainst the table so that dust and the like is prevented from access tothe interior of the casing.

A sliding leaf 22 is fitted at the ends in the groove 18 and is adaptedto engage with the rear edge the forward edges of the sight glass andplate and in this position conceals that portion of the tally sheetdisposed on the table. When withdrawn forwardly from engagement with thesight glass and plate, the leaf exposes that portion of the tall7 sheetdisposed on the table so that a longitudinal slot exists between therear edge of the leaf and forward edges of the sight glass and platethrough which a pencil may be inserted to apply such memoranda to thetally sheet as it may be desired to preserve.

For limiting sliding movement of the sliding leaf an elongated notch 23is formed in each end edge of the leaf and receives a pin 24- thatprojects from the adjacent inner wall of the groove. These pins contactwith the end walls of the notches and limit sliding movement of the leafin either direction. A grip 25 is fixed to the underneath face of thesliding leaf for manipulating the leaf, the grip being equipped with adepending eye 26 through which a swivel hook 27 carried by the casingmay be engaged when the leaf is slid to its inner limit of movement tolock the leaf in this position.

It will thus be seen that I have provided an extremely simple andinexpensive tally sheet holder that is practically dust-proof and may beeasily manipulated to expose-or conceal that portion of the tally sheetdisposed on the writing table.

Vhat is claimed, is

A tally sheet holder comprising a casing, a writing table extendingtransversely in said casing, a supply roller and a take up roller onopposite sides of said table and adapted to conduct a tally sheet oversaid table, a hinged cover for said casing, a member in said coveradapted to support a desn said cover and limiting movement of said leafin eaoll dil'eetion,

In testimony whereof, I aix my slgnature, in the presence of twoWitnesses.
